4 Players enter
As soon as Lao Tan Pickled Cabbage entered, he saw the scene. The whole person felt uneasy, as if he was stunned, and kept muttering, "Too real, too amazing."
What should have been a vibrant land was now a scene of desolation. A World Tree had fallen to the ground, its trunk broken in half, and two giants were still fighting on top of its remains.
The flames from the battle had ignited the canopy of the World Tree, and beneath it, many strange little people were helplessly charging towards the demon god, but it was all in vain. The entire world was shrouded in the gloom of destruction.
At this moment, a seed flew out from the World Tree and drifted towards an unknown distance.
Then, the scene changed, and the seed fell onto a desolate land.
As soon as it landed, the seed sprouted, grew, and transformed the world. That continent also formed a world.
It was only when a figure appeared in front of Tan Yang that he realized that what he had just seen was probably the cutscene of a game.
A little girl with white hair slowly appeared. She had white hair, bare feet, wore a green dress, and had a halo behind her that emitted infinite wisdom, making her look sacred and inviolable.
"Brave adventurer! I am Nina Kteraxhil, the God of the World Tree."
Lao Tan Pickled Cabbage immediately felt the dignity (and cuteness) of this deity and felt that his whole life had been worthwhile.
"The old world has been destroyed by the demon god, and the new world has just been created. But the demon god will eventually find me, so I summoned you from another world to guard this newborn world."
"Now, are you willing to guard this world?"
At this moment, a game panel appeared in front of Lao Tan Pickled Cabbage.
"Willing/Unwilling"
Lao Tan Pickled Cabbage thought to himself, of course, he would choose "Willing," so he said, "Goddess, I will protect you for the rest of my life. Long live the goddess!"
"Then go for it, adventurer!"
As soon as the words fell, Lao Tan Pickled Cabbage felt that he had regained his ability to move. He opened his eyes and saw that he was wearing cloth clothes and cloth shoes. He appeared under a huge tree that blocked out the sun.
The fresh natural breath hit him, the chirping of birds filled his ears, and in the distance was a dense forest and clear lake.
Lao Tan Pickled Cabbage squatted down, broke off a small grass from the ground, and put it in his mouth. The taste of the grass leaves on his tongue was astringent.
All of these were reminders that this was a real other world.
However, a group of silly players not far away seemed out of place in the serene environment, as if reminding him that this was just a game.
The players had just entered the world, and some of them were still unfamiliar with their bodies, as if they had been infected by a virus.
Some were dancing, some were trying to climb the World Tree, but fell down as they climbed.
The most exaggerated one was actually eating dirt while shouting, "This dirt tastes so authentic, just like the one I ate in the real world."
Zhou Heng, inside the World Tree space, looked at this group of silly players and awkwardly said to Nina next to him, "Cough, although they may seem a bit unconventional now, trust me, they will be the best employees."
"They may need some time to adapt. Now watch my performance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Heng's clothes changed into a set of white robes in the style of the other world, and he held a scepter made from the branches of the World Tree.
Coupled with the enhancement of his divine power, his appearance had also undergone a qualitative leap, making female players scream.
Immediately afterward, he appeared in front of the players with a flash.
One of the players was curious and wanted to touch Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng quickly injected his divine power into the scepter in his hand, and the scepter landed, forming a protective shield that isolated the surrounding players.
He was also afraid that the players would not give him face, so he used his system privileges to make them unable to move.
"Why can't I move?"
"What's wrong with this game?"
"Who is this guy? An NPC? He looks so handsome."
Meanwhile, a sequence of numbers appeared above the players' heads, but only Zhou Heng could see them.
Doubts +1.
Surprises +1....
Zhou Heng thought, "What good leeks they are!"
The soul essence of the players was protected by the roots of the World Tree, which could only be broken by a deity of a higher rank like Gaonina. The various spiritual powers of the players also began to be absorbed by the roots of the World Tree within their bodies, transformed into divine power, and transmitted to the main body of the World Tree.
Although the players' bodies were imprisoned, their minds were not.
Their eyes turned quickly, obviously realizing that the reason they couldn't move was related to the sudden appearance of the person.
"Adventurers from another world, greetings. I am Anthony Alvis, the High Priest under the Goddess, and I have come to guide you under her command."
"Although we are safe now, the Demon God will not spare us. We need to constantly develop our forces."
"Our world has just been created and we have nothing. A beautiful future awaits us to create."
"What we need most now is to rebuild our homes. We need you to gather materials, build our cities, and work hard for a better tomorrow."
"May the Goddess bless you."
After saying that, he lifted the restrictions on the players.
He left a divine avatar in place to issue tasks to the players.
At the same time, task notifications also appeared on the players' system panels.
[Collect materials for building the Novice Village]
[Task: Collect 1000 units of stone material]
[PS: Each unit of resources can be exchanged for 1 point of experience and 2 copper coins (made from metals in the mountains, 100 copper coins = 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin), which can be used for character leveling and purchasing items in the mall. The top ten players on the final task board will receive special rewards.]
"The main quest has finally appeared."
Without hesitation, Old Tan Sauerkraut rushed over to High Priest Anthony (the incarnation of Zhou Heng).
He only wanted this game to become popular, so he quickly rushed over to Zhou Heng and asked in a hurry, "Hello, I've come to pick up my tools."
"Those are your tools. You can use them for free. Each of you can choose one," said High Priest Anthony, the incarnation of divine power, pointing to the tools that appeared behind him.
"The materials have been collected, you can bring them to me now."
Upon hearing this, Old Tan Sauerkraut quickly ran towards the place where the tools were piled up, as if someone would snatch them away if he was even a little slower.
As soon as he picked up an axe, specific data appeared on the game interface.

Looking at his own attribute values, Old Tan Sauerkraut felt that they were consistent with the real world and should represent his actual physical stats.
However, he couldn't help but feel deceived when he saw the so-called "artifact" given at the start of the game. What kind of weird game was this?!
But there was nothing he could do about it now. Considering how realistic the game's modeling was, he decided to forgive it.
After all the players had received their tools, Zhou Heng waved his hand, and a spatial rift appeared in the northwest of the Newbie Plaza. It gradually expanded and stabilized, ultimately forming an oval-shaped spatial passageway.
